I had my first class for the 6 month weight management program yesterday. Have to get this out the way before surgery. I'm really excited about learning my food triggers and patterns in order to be successful after surgery. I'm still undecided on which procedure I will get. Pray for me.....

At first, I was a little annoyed at the minimum 6 month process but I've learned a ton about myself and I really do think it sets you up for success. Keep chugging along.... :)

Good luck! As far as which procedure, research, research, research! Only you know what is right for you. Your surgeon can help, but mine told me to be successful, I had to own it! 10 days out from VSG and no regrets.

I feel they do this so you have your self under controle by the time surgury is done. In my class the talked about a person having the surgery and when they were released from the hospital went straight to McDonalds and eat a big mac. Ouch. They spent a month in the hospital. So take this time and learn your new eating habbits.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
